The other day I received an email from a Practitioner. She was answering the question I ask when singing up for my newsletter:
 
"So, what's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to getting clients?"

I have so many emails from wonderful Practitioners around the world that have answered this question. While their answers vary, one question I'm often asked is how to get beyond the limiting beliefs they have about themselves as a Practitioner.
Sometimes I hear, "I know I'm stuck but I don't know why."
 
Other times I'm told, "I know I'm holding myself back from getting out there and promoting myself but I'm not sure how to get beyond my fears and doubts."

Guess what? I have a special magnifying glass that can find the limiting beliefs that keep you from reaching more clients, moving forward and getting out in a bigger way.

Do you know what the "magnifying glass" is?

It's a word.

Yes! I single word.
 
It's not even a fancy word. Nor a complicated word. And no matter what part of the world you live in or how old you are or how long you have been seeing clients, this little powerful word detects our limiting beliefs. 
 
Do you want to know what it is? Drum roll please!

BECAUSE.

Yes, the single word "because." You see, your limiting belief usually follows the word "because." 

Whether you're thinking to yourself or sharing with a friend, our limiting beliefs and negative self-talk can often be detected if you listen out for the word "because" in your sentences.
 
Here are some examples:
 
"I can't get more clients because... I work a full time job"
 
"People won't want to work with me because... I'm just a mom."
 
"I can't start leading workshops/teleclasses because... I don't have enough experience. 
 
"I can't say I'm a specialist because... I'm not an EFT master" (or haven't been in practice for years, or had hundreds of clients, etc.)
 
See how this word helps you detect your limiting belief around yourself as a Practitioner and what you think you can be, do or have? The good news is you can identify the limiting beliefs that hold you back from getting clients, making a great income and assisting others that need your help.
 
It's true that sometimes your inner blocks remain hidden but many times you can "sniff out" these fears and doubts that are holding you back simply by being aware of this word because.
 
So this if the first step, to find out the limiting beliefs you are telling yourself and others.
 
The second step to remove these blocks is using a clearing process such as EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques, or hypnotherapy to remove them. You just have to make sure you remove it from the root, or it will come back later and hold you back.

Whether your fears around taking payment from clients, creating a website or telling people what to do, clearing these blocks is essential if you really want to move forward with confidence.
 
Your Success Assignment:
 
Write down on paper what you want to be, do or have when it comes to your Practice. 
 
Then, answer this question: "Why don't I have it?"
 
Write down whatever thoughts come to mind. Don't edit yourself! Keep the pen flowing.
 
Lastly, use a clearing process like EFT or hypnotherapy to eliminate these limiting beliefs. Yes, it will take a bit of time and dedication to do this process, but the rewards are well worth it.
 
Once these inner culprits are identified and cleared at the root you will feel more relaxed, excited and motivated to take your Practice, yourself and even your income to a new level.
